The retired New York City firefighter said it’s not uncommon for fans to target him at away Jets games, but on Sunday, “getting out of there was no small task.” Explained Anzalone to Newsday: “One guy grabbed my helmet and threw it on the field. He went to take it and run away with it, but Jets fans tackled him.”

Anzalone credited stadium security and did not want to make too much of the incident.

Really, I'm not inclined to make too much of ANY incident that Fireman Ed is a part of. Seriously though, great pic on that link mrmojo...Even as a Patriot Fan, It warms my heart that everything worked out fine for Uncle Fester (I think Jets's Fans should pony up and get him a bigger helmet, maybe a facemask)...

Laz - is that pic from "Fireman" Ed's assault on the Giant fan last year or is it another assault. The only thing I can tell is the hat of the one being assaulted is not green.Posted by EnochRoot

Good question, but don't even know man. I HIGHLY doubt a NY newspaper, would be that uncredible to offer a unsubstantiated story and inflame the article with some picture from some other situation...ESPECIALLY NY Giants's vagrants in the act of assaulting NY Jets's Vagrants (or vice-versa...until eternity). The picture of Fester (aka Fireman Ed), is just from the link provided by mrmojo from his Post #1... Ya know me, 'Good artists borrow, GREAT artists steal.' I- ya know, I wrote that.

Yeah, my wife had a bad case of jetfans... tried preparation H, but needed surgery. Then her jetfans were gone. Sometimes you just gotta target those jetfans and get rid of 'em!Posted by TroyBrown80

From WEEI.com: Ubiquitous Jets fan “Fireman Ed” Anzalone said Patriots fans placed “a bounty” on his Jets fireman helmet as he tried to leave Gillette Stadium on Sunday following the Patriots’ 28-21 loss.
